In case you were wondering, yes, that is in fact a dinosaur with laser guns.

What’s included: eight faction decks and one deck of bases. (Click to enlarge)

Overview: Robots, pirates, dinosaurs, wizards, and more! Pick two factions, smash them together, and then attempt to take over the world. Smash Up (“The Shufflebuilding Game of Total Awesomeness”) launched at Gen Con this year, selling out the available supply, though AEG promises that more will be available soon. It’s a quick-playing game that’s easy to learn and filled with humor and, well awesomeness.

Players: 2 to 4

Ages: 12 and up (though younger players should be able to handle both the gameplay and subject matter)

Playing Time: 45 minutes

Retail: $29.99

Rating: Somewhere between “just plain awesome” and “totally awesome.”

Who Will Like It? Here are the eight factions: Robots, Ninjas, Pirates, Dinosaurs, Wizards, Aliens, Tricksters, and Zombies. If that list sounds awesome to you, then you’ll probably enjoy Smash Up. If not, then you’re probably just not awesome enough.
